try resetting the PRAM (or whatever it's called now on the intel macs) by holding command + option + P + R until it chimes a few times

Did you try holding the option key down during the reboot process. You should be able to choose the partition to boot off after selecting that.

I generally use the option key instead of the control panel/system preferences to select the start up disk

I had a friend with this issue the other day and he never did get it fixed. Sent it back to Apple. If it's less than a year old it should be covered under warranty.

Someone else might know how to fix it though. My friend reset everything and option boot did nothing.

I had tried to press option key may time but it didnt work. I insert the the Cd which go with the machine when I brought it and press C key during booting it cant help as well. this is a second hand one so I dont have any warranty cover and Im not sure the CD go with it is a right one for the machine or not. Im so upset about this, so has any other way to help me save it. Thank you very much my all dear friends.
